Nyala Rinpoche Rigdzin Changchub Dorje (1826–1961/1978)[1] was a teacher of Dzogchen, terton and practitioner of Tibetan medicine. He was born in the Nyarong (nyag rong) region of East Tibet. Teachers of Nyala Rinpoche were Adzom Drugpa, Nyala Pema Dündul and Bön teacher Shardza Rinpoche.
Nyala Rinpoche organized and lead a community of Dzogchen practitioners in Nyalagar, East Tibet. In 1978 he is said to have attained rainbow body. If he was born in 1826 as is claimed, he would have lived to be older than the oldest man ever documented.
One of his students is Chogyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche.
